Windows Measurement System setting

Dispatch has an internal Measurement System setting (Imperial or metric) that is independent of the Windows Measurement System setting. However, the Windows Regional Settings Measurement system setting effects the initial values chosen by Dispatch for its default Measurement System.

 

If for some reason you would like to change the Windows setting, open the Settings view and select System Information from the General group.

 

Now click on the Regional Settings push button.

The Windows' Region dialog will open. Now click the Additional settings push button.

 

Note: The format of the dialogs shown below apply to Windows versions from Vista up to and including Windows 10.

When you click the Additional settings button, the Customize Format dialog will open (why isn't titled Additional settings?).

 

Use the control labeled Measurement system to toggle between Metric and U.S. (Imperial).
